Jared's New J-O-B!

Jared started his 2nd week at his new J-O-B today, and so far, we are BOTH loving it! Most of you already know that his last job at Nestle was tough on both of us. Check out this schedule:

2:00 a.m. - Jared wakes up (and I usually did too which made for a REALLY long day)
3:00 a.m. - Jared leaves for work
3:45 a.m. - Jared gets to work
3:30 p.m. - Jared leaves work
4:15 p.m. - Jared arrives home
6:30 p.m. - Jared starts trying to go to bed.

I usually don't get home until 5:30 p.m., so we only had an hour to see each other in the evenings. And, not to mention that he had to work almost every Saturday. Ugh! We're so glad it's over!

His new job is at Pilkington here in Lexington (yay! no more 45 mile drive - one way - to work). They make all kinds of glass, but his plant makes windshields and other glass for cars. He's the Logistics and Materials dude with Safety responsibilities too. He's so happy to not be working in production anymore. And, the best part, he goes to work at 7:30 a.m. and gets off around 4:30 p.m. AND no Saturdays! Yay! We have our life back! It's fabulous! Can't wait to be able to tailgate on Saturdays now.

So, all of you who know not to call our phones after 6:30 p.m. ... now you can call until 10:00 p.m.! LOL!

In all seriousness though, we're blessed beyond words. Thank you, Lord, for giving us this new opportunity. It couldn't have come at a better time.

My Favorite Time of Year

Time flies when you're having fun! It's been so long since I've shared anything on here, and well, to be honest, I've missed it. I love to write, but we've been so busy that time has just gotten away from me. Summer has come and gone, and now here we are again ... my favorite time of year ... Fall! There are so many awesome things that happen between September and the end of November, and here are just a few of the things I'm looking forward to:

Football
Tailgating
Keeneland Horse Racing
Halloween
Thanksgiving
Soup
Changing of the Colors (If you've never seen our beautiful mountains change colors, it's worth a trip to see us in October. We'd love to have you!)
Warm Kentucky Days, Cool Kentucky Nights
Toasty Fires
Roasting Marshmallows
Hot chocolate
And most importantly ... lots of time with family!

Speaking of football, here's a War Eagle moment before I sign off ...

What are you looking forward to this Fall?

Become a Possibilitarian!

I was looking at one of my favorite brand's blog page today, Curly Girl Designs, and came across a website of a truly fabulous artist named Kelly Rae Roberts. I was perusing through her site when I saw this:

At first glance, I thought about how cute it was and kept going. Then it hit me ... Become a Possibilitarian? What does that really mean? And, better yet ... am I one? So, now this one image has me thinking. What's possible today? What can I do today to make a difference? Can I change the world? The answer is YES! I can do anything I want to do today because anything is possible. As of today, this is my new motto. I'm a Possibilitarian! Are you?
